For my racetrack table I used Linoleum for the racetrack instead of finishing the plywood. I used a vinyl welding rod to trim the edge of the playing surface to give a cleaner look at the transition. It was tough to make perfect cuts up against the playing surface so the addition of the vinyl rod really cleaned it up. I was very happy with the materials and the instructions. I did upgrade the fabric, cup holders, padding, etc. Basically upgraded everything that could be upgraded....well worth the extra dollars for the upgrades. I used an old table base that cost me nothing, just had to modify it a little to give it a little more stability. ready for my weekly Tuesday night game!!!! maybe have a game this weekend just to show it off a little.to
